What to verify for this unit
- Use unit code 1001O6085 and the exact provider and location codes when checking the intended programme with its provider.
- Match VORM and VOERTAAL within the same contextual row, then check the current curriculum and teaching-language requirements with the provider.
- Check the original offering and intake dates below. An empty end date does not confirm an open intake or a current application deadline.

Each unit page groups only the original OPLEIDINGSEENHEIDCODE; an offering or location is not counted as a separate degree. The list does not cover every private provider or guarantee that applications are open.
Reported start, end and intake dates remain source evidence rather than a promise of current availability. A missing end date does not establish an open intake. Names, qualification labels, codes, languages and missing values remain in Dutch. No CIP equivalence, inferred admissions conditions or institution-name matches are added.

- Central to the domain of plant sciences are the relations between plants and their environment, with a fundamental and applied perspective on global food security, biodiversity and climate change adaptation. Through photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into biomass, making them an inexhaustible source of food and renewable resources. \nMore than ever, studying plant sciences requires the ability to deal with dynamics and complexity at different scales, from molecules, cells and organisms, to populations, and agro-ecosystems. In the bachelor Plant Sciences, you learn to combine fundamental knowledge of ecology, physiology, genetics, molecular biology, biodiversity, agronomy, plant breeding and plant pathology. Additionally, you learn to apply this knowledge for food production, human health, bio-based resources, and a green environment. This will give you a strong basis in all domains of plant sciences. \nThe bachelor Plant Sciences has a research-oriented approach. Each year, you apply knowledge and skills to design experiments and carry out a research plan on a plant sciences topic. By setting up your own experiments you learn academic skills that are applicable in a broad range of professions. This includes skills such as information literacy, writing and presenting, experimental design and research, data science and modelling, scientific argumentation, critical self-reflection, and teamwork. \nThe broad common core prepares you for the programme's two specialisations: (A) Plant Genomics and Health, (B) Plant Production and Ecology. \n(A) Plant Genomics and Health focuses on processes that occur in the plant on a cellular and molecular level. Plants are important for a healthy diet as they provide carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and phytonutrients such as antioxidants. Consequently, healthy plants are important for global food security. Specialized plant metabolites play a role in natural interactions between plants and (micro-) organisms. These molecular interactions determine the plant's defense system and the symbiosis between plants and soil-based microbes. Plants also respond to abiotic factors in their environment. Light, drought and salt can change molecular signalling pathways to induce stress tolerance in plants, which is important to improve plant resilience. In the courses of this specialisation, you learn to apply molecular biology techniques and bioinformatics to investigate molecular plant-environment interactions, and to develop plants with enhanced nutritional or pharmaceutical value through gene editing. This specialisation prepares for the MSc Plant Sciences and the MSc Plant Biotechnology. \n(B) Plant Production and Ecology aims at the ecological interactions between plants and enviro
